Better places to go for Pizza – I ate here for lunch today and was not impressed by the place or the food. The pizza was OK and the service was non-existent (after you place your order, that is). I would've been really pissed if we had had to wait for a table. The bottom of the pizza crust was soft; not something you'd expect from a place prides itself on brick oven pizza. This place is a distant third to Lombardi's and Arturo's. Try those places first.

Overrated – The pizza here is fine, especially if you have a thing for brick-oven pizzas. That said, it's difficult to get a table, you can't order individual slices, and it hardly distinguishes itself from any other brick-oven pizza restaurant. The service is inattentive at best.

It's so good when it hits your lips! – Being from the south, NY pizza is a whole different ballgame. This establishment had the tastiest pizza I've ever put in my mouth and it seemed to have very fresh ingredients as well. Would recommend to any local or visitor!

Run like the Wind – The pizza here is incredibly inconsistent. The only time I had a decent pie is when it came topped with anchovies. Otherwise, often the crust is soggy - a big no no for real pizza lovers, and the taste bland. The last time I came i didn't even finish my pie - and then I went across the street to Joe's for a slice to satisfy my pizza craving. I have NO IDEA why this place has a following. It's borderline gross.

mmm, John's – Honestly, the best pizza I have ever had. The right amount of sauce, right amount of cheese, cooked just right, amazing.

over-rated – Recently in new york, visited lombardi's and john's. John's pizza was average at best. It seem like something that i could make at home. Coming from chicago (where i thought chicago style pizza was the best) i was proven wrong by lombardi's pizza. I thought i was in heaven. The next day went to john's, boy was i in for a shock. The pie had little flavor. The best part of john's was its location.

umm... NO. – I went to Johns because it is so well reviewed, the same reason I'd gone to Grimalde's. The difference being that Grimalde's tastes GREAT, and John's tastes BAD. The service was good, better than Grimalde's and I liked the vibe of the place. However, the great service, and a good vibe can't offset how horrible the pizza there was. I two main problems with it: 1) the cheese. Their cheese was not "fresh mozzarella" it was "mozzarella" and it was probably fresh, but that's not the same. The type of cheese they use ... read more

great pizza, limited menu – Don't be fooled by the name. Come here for great pizza, but not for anything else. Aside from pizza, menu is limited. Very high ceiling (it's a former church) creates sense of openess (a nice change from the congested nature of nyc), but increases noise.

Popular but not the best – There is a big difference between a popular pizza store and the best pizza store. I have found John's pizza to lack flavor in the cheese and have a bland sauce. NYC is the home to many weak pizza shops.
